Altered States of Reality

Altered States of Reality provides a glimpse of the world as captured through the
lens of a camera, technology, and through the artists own inner vision.
Fragments

Today Lily fully embraces her responsibilities as a visual artist; she courageously
faces the ambiguity of life, and its torn, ragged qualities, but also reveals through
her work the necessity of hope, and of finding textures and layers within life’s
difficulties. She speaks her own unique visual language, inspired by her passion
for the intimate communication that is art.

and Indigenous artistic traditions. Enriched with these influences, some of the
finest contemporary visual art, where the importance and sacredness of the land,
the power of ancestral art as well as modern artistic joy and technique become a
uniting theme.
Labyrinth of Abstraction

An impressive selection of talented artists has been brought together for Labyrinth
of Abstraction, a showcase of contemporary abstract painting. This internationally
diverse grouping uses painterly abstractions to conceptualize the ineffable, with
exploding colors, lines, and shapes celebrating life’s nuances while enticing the
eye. This bold language of art displays an individuality and breadth of style that
speaks directly to our souls and refreshes our spirits.
Portals of Perception

The wide variety of artistic invention which greets audiences attending Portals
of Perception, underscores the idea that as long as people dream and imagine, art
will never cease to exist, inspire, and bring about contemplation in others.

The artists of Manifestation of Milieu cull resonant imagery from their travels,
dreams, and life experiences that speak to us on a personal level. Ranging from
fanciful to contemplative, this exceptional body of work will have audiences reveling
